Ride Green to SFO

PlanetTran, the once Boston-exclusive all-hybrid car service, has launched its San Francisco Bay Area operations. The SF office operates a fleet of Toyota Priuses and serves San Francisco International, Oakland, and San Jose Airports. They do most of their business as an airport car service, but can accommodate most trips around town with a reservation.

An online quote shows a sample base fare of $71 from the Savoy Hotel at 580 Geary Street to SFO, and $88 to OAK. That's a billion times more expensive than the BART, but ask yourself this: does the BART have WiFi? It sure doesn't, but PlanetTran's cars do! That's right: WiFi in the cars. Could it get more geeky or amazing? Are there black-out windows so no one has to know what we're overpaying for?

PlanetTran accepts reservations online for departure times that are at least two hours away. After that, you'll have to call 'em.
